00:00My name is Colin Huff, I'm 91. I joined Shrewsbury and Seven Side Boxing Club in 1948, then spent
00:08three years in Germany, then become trainer and promoter for the club. Sadly, two or three
00:16years ago I had to retire through ill health. One of my greatest rewards is when I now bump
00:21into fully grown men who tell me when they were kids they come to the club and I help
00:26keep them out of jail. See if people ask me about boxing, I used to say yeah I was rubbish,
00:34I lost 17. I never went round bragging about me record.
